Preventing Injury A few tips to keep you pain free! As runners, we love running. When at our best, running can be inspiring, relieve stress, keep us healthy and help us maintain an ideal weight. But all too often, runners become sidelined by injury. It doesn’t matter if we’re young or old, tall or short, fast or slow, running injuries strike us all. It starts as a twinge in the knee or a tweak in the hip. A few pain relieving pills and an ice pack later, and we are back on the roads trying to hobble through the discomfort. We try a new pair of shoes or a new orthotic, but that doesn’t always do the trick. Maybe it’s our form or our increase in mileage for our upcoming marathon or that speed workout at the track last Thursday. Studies show that up to 50% of runners face injury each year. Some never run again. Many have injuries that become chronic. But running injuries do not have just one cause. They can come from a multitude of errors. Here are some injury prevention tips.

1. Improve form. Running

with tall posture and swinging arms efficiently is key. Overstriding, where the foot lands before the knee, has been linked to injury. Run quietly and softly and at a high cadence of 180 foot falls per minute. Try to land mid-foot, not on your heel. 2. Add strength. Many runners lack strength in certain areas. By gaining strength, we help our muscles, tendons and ligaments brace for the impact of running. A strong body can also improve running form. From a strong core or strong hips, leg stability increases from the ankle to the knees to the hips. Hill running, weight lifting and plyometrics can all improve strength. 3. Pick the right shoe. Different runners have different biomechanics, so running shoes are not one style fits all. Go for comfort and seek the advice of a running store expert who can analyze your form and gait. A running orthotic might be needed for those with flat arches or who pronate. Some experts recommend wearing different shoes for different types of workouts, such as minimalist shoes for speed days and cushioned trainers for long runs. 4. Build mileage slowly. Many runners do too much, too soon, and too fast. Runners should build mileage slowly and steadily over time. Most experts recommend increasing mileage by no more than 5-10 percent each week. A gradual progression will help the body adapt to the rigors of training. 5. Listen to your body. Many injuries don’t jump out of nowhere. You’ll feel a twinge or a tweak long before an injury gets serious. Stop. Don’t run. Address the problem before it turns into a major problem. Crosstrain, swim or bike or take a day off. When the pain goes away, slowly ease back into your training. 6. Dynamic stretching. Runners can get tight in predictable areas. Dynamic stretching before a run can help loosen muscles. Use fluid, relaxing movements for about five minutes, such as arm swings, high knees and skipping. It shouldn’t be painful.

This year, Romero will run 3,200 miles across the U.S. starting in Los Angeles and ending 64 days later at Faneuil Hall in Boston. “Romero is an extraordinary athlete who demonstrates perseverance. His VisionRun USA across America will raise awareness about issues affecting the blind including the high unemployment rate of 70%, an obesity rate of 66%, and a depression rate 2 times the rate of the general population,” said Lucas. Jason Romero currently holds world running records in 50K, 50mile, 100 mile, 24 hour, 48 hour and 72 hour race distances and times. He is a 3-time IronMan triathlete, and represented Team USA with a 4th place finish at the International Paralympic Committee’s World Marathon Championships in 2015. Romero was recently featured in an inspirational documentary, Running Vision (www.runningvisionmovie.com), which chronicles his degenerative eye condition and his completion of a 51 hour, 183 mile run across Puerto Rico. -Peter Jones JASON ROMERO OF DENVER AT THE FINISH OF THE CALIFORNIA INTERNATIONAL MARATHON.

Blind Denver Runner Wins Ultramarathon The San Jorge 50-mile endurance race held in Puerto Rico on February 6 was won by legally blind runner Jason Romero of Denver. It is rare to have blind people competing in marathons, even rarer to find blind people competing in ultra-marathons (more than 26.2 miles), and was unheard of, until now, for a blind person to actually win an ultra-marathon. “It is the first time in the history of ultrarunning that a blind person has ever won an ultra-marathon outright,” said Mark Lucas, executive director of the United States Association of Blind Athletes. Romero completed the 50-mile course in 7 hours 24 minutes, breaking the existing course record, held by a sighted male, by more than 1.5 hours. With the win, Romero also set a World Record for blind ultra-runners in the 50-mile distance. The 45-year-old Coloradan has Retinitis Pigmentosa, a rare degenerative eye condition that gradually robs its sufferers of peripheral and central sight, visual acuity, and the ability to perceive light. When he was diagnosed at the age of 14, a retina specialist told him to ‘forget about his dreams of being a doctor or lawyer.’ He was warned that most blind people can’t work. Romero ignored the doctor’s dismal prophecy and went on to become an honor student, attorney, business executive at GE and Western Union, and CEO of a non-profit school for children with Autism. Currently, Romero is a motivational speaker and adven6 coloradorunnermag.com

Berian Wins Indoor Worlds One-time Adams State student and former Colorado Springs high schooler Boris Berian is a world champion. In Portland, Oregon on March 19, Berian won the IAAF Indoor Track & Field World Championships 800 meter final in an indoor personal best time of one minute, 45.83 seconds. It was a huge turnaround for the athlete, who was running without a shoe sponsorship. Berian is now turning his focus to the Olympic Track and Field Trials this summer with the hope of making the Olympic team. Team USA won 23 medals at the Indoor World Championships, a record for any country at a single World Indoors, breaking the old mark of 19 medals won by the U.S. in 1999.

New Balance Run Hub Opens in Boulder Global athletic leader New Balance celebrated the opening of the New Balance Run Hub, as part of Flatirons Running Company, owned by Henry and Suzanne Guzman and RL Smith and Tricia Vieth. The retail space celebrates the brand’s 110-year heritage, product innovation and local Team New Balance Athletes. The official opening of the space took place to a packed house of runners, athletes, media, and community members who enjoyed a fun evening that included a fashion show, a live DJ, and photos with New Balance athletes Jenny Simpson and Emma Coburn. The New Balance Run Hub in Boulder features several unique elements, such as Strava based digital and physical running community experiences, inviting athletes to participate in group and individual training programs for key running events, weekly challenges, new local running routes and friendly competition with the local Boulder running community.

Boulder Road Runners Claim Silver The Boulder Road Runner Men’s 60-69 team captured the silver medal at the USA Track and Field Cross Country National Championships on February 6. Held at the Rivers Edge Golf Course in Bend, Oregon, the challenging 8k course featured a series of four loops on a challenging steep uphill and downhill course still a bit soggy from recently melted snow. The team, composed of Devin Croft, Heath Hibbard, Stephen Parker and Bruce Kirschner, had just come off their 2015 USATF National Masters Grand Prix Championship win. They were missing top players John Victoria and Doug Bell, who had recently incurred injuries. But the team managed to grab silver, only two points behind the Cal Coast Track Club of Southern California. Hibbard finished in third place overall in 34:50.

EAT FAT, GET FAT? OR EAT FAT, GET HEALTHY? Nancy Clark, MS, RD, CSSD

emember when the eat fat, get fat mantra prevailed? Runners avoided fat like the plague. They ate poached f ish, dr y salads, and steamed vegetables in efforts to reduce the risk of getting fat - to say nothing of having a heart attack. Unfortunately for many of these fatavoiding runners, dieting went awry. Fat-free foods left them unsatisfied, with gnawing hunger and a relentless drive for fat-free frozen yogurt (fat-free = calorie free, right?) or (what the heck) a pint of Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey Ice Cream. They ended up gaining (not losing) weight. Nutrition professionals learned a lesson: advising Americans to eat less fat led to the unintended consequences of eating more sugar. A big mistake. Hence, the new Dietary Guidelines recommend that we include health-promoting poly- and mono-unsaturated fats in our meals - but still limit the arter y-clogging saturated fats from greasy meats and fatty junk foods. Given that Time magazine reported butter is back and the Paleo diet embraces coconut

oil (high in saturated fat), many runners are left wondering whom to believe. Can we really eat foods rich in saturated fats without hurting our health? This article addresses issues related to dietary fat and your sports diet.

What about coconut oil … is it better than olive oil?

All fats contain a variety of mono-unsaturated, polyunsaturated and saturated fats in varied proportions. The harder the fat - butter, beef lard - the more saturated it is. The softer/ more liquid the fat (avocado, olive oil) the better it is for your health. Coconut “oil” (called an oil because it is from a plant, but it is solid at room temperature) has some “good” fats, but it also has some “bad” fats. To date, research on the health risks or benef its associated with long-term intake of coconut oil is sparse. Hence, you want to ask yourself, ”Why would I want to trade extra-virgin olive oil (known to be health-promoting) with coconut oil (with questionable health claims)?”

What percent of my calories

should come from fat?

The percent of tota l calories that should come from fat is whatever is left after consuming a foundation of grains, fruits and vegetables to fuel your muscles, and adequate proteinrich foods (lean meat, fish, beans, low-fat dairy, soy) to build and repair your muscles. The percent of total calories from fat is less critical than the type of fat. The Dietary Guidelines recommend no more than 10% of calories come from saturated fat. That means, if you eat 2,000 calories a day (a reducing diet for most runners), you can choose 200 calories (22 grams) of saturated fat a day. Ideally, you will choose foods rich in nutrients, such as 2% milk (3 g sat-fat per 8 ounces); low-fat cheese (3-6 g sat-fat per ounce), or hard-boiled eggs (1 g sat-fat per egg) - not on empty-calorie butter (7 g sat fat per tablespoon) or coconut oil (12 g sat-fat per tablespoon). Unsaturated fats knock down inf lammation. For athletes who damage muscles during hard exercise, reducing inf lammation can enhance recover y. Hence,

you want to eat healthy fats extra virgin olive oil, avocado, all-natural peanut butter, nuts, and salmon. Their fats are not only anti-inf lammatory, but also needed to absorb vitamins A,D,E and K. Plus, they help food taste better. Enjoying some healthful fat in each meal makes the meal yummier and more satisfying and easier for you to avert hankerings for decadent desserts. NOTE: While unsaturated fats can be health promoting, they are calorie-dense. One tablespoon of oil has 120 calories. Eat fats in portions that fit within your calorie budget!

Are fat-free foods, like skim milk and fat-free salad dressing, wise additions to a sports diet?

T he a ns wer to t hat question depends on what other foods are in the entire meal. The goal is not fat-free meals! That is, a fat-free breakfast of Cheerios and skim milk can leave you feeling “unfed ” and hankering for a donut or two by 9:30 a.m. In comparison, choosing 2% milk on the cereal could help you feel

satiated. Better yet, add whole grain toast with all-natural peanut butter to the breakfast and you will be truly content. Similarly, a salad with fat-free dressing can leave you hankering for cookies - unless you toss in some quality calories, such as avocado, chopped walnuts, tuna and extravirgin olive oil. Including some health-promoting fat in each meal and snack might actually help save you calories in the long run.

Should I avoid peanut butter because it is so high in fat?

No! Research suggests people who eat nuts and peanut butter are not fatter than people who avoid those foods. While the majority of calories in peanut butter do come from fat, the good news is the fat is primarily polyand mono-unsaturated (only 1 g sat-fat per tablespoon all-natural peanut butter). Hence, peanut and other nut-butters protect against heart disease and diabetes, two diseases related to inf lammation. Like all fats, enjoy nut butters in portions that fit within your calorie budget.

I consider peanut butter to be one of the best sports foods (and diet foods) around, not just because it knocks down inf lammation, but because it is yummy and satiating. That is, a lunchtime low-fat turkey sandwich leaves me hankering for dessert, but a peanut butter and honey sandwich leaves me feeling satiated for several hours; no snacks needed! The bottom line: Enjoying health-promoting unsaturated fats in your sports diet reduces inf lammation, enhances absorption of certain vitamins, helps curb the appetite - and adds yumminess. Just don’t overeat calories from fat - and any type of food, for that matter. The mantra ‘Eat excess calories, get fat’ is more accurate than ‘Eat fat, get fat.’ Nancy Clark, MS, RD is the author of the Sports Nutrition Guidebook and Food Guide for Marathoners.

DOES COMPRESSION GEAR ACTUALLY WORK?

Training is hard. So if there’s a way to cheat the system and improve your fitness by simply buying new workout gear, I’m all for it. And, apparently, I’m not the only one to feel that way. Sales of compression gear have skyrocketed. Compression shorts, tights, tops, socks, and calf sleeves are all taking up more and more room on running speciality and athletic store shelves.

MEB KEFLEZIGHI NEVER RACES WITHOUT COMPRESSION SOCKS.

nce the apparel experiment only among performance-seeking elite athletes, compression clothing is now a wardrobe staple among every type of athlete, from weekend warriors to local age-group champions. Body-hugging fabrics may look great and feel great, but do they actually improve athletic performance? Manufacturers and athletes may say yes, but many experts say no.

Manufacturers of compression apparel say the clothing “focuses your muscles’ energy to generate maximum explosive power, acceleration and long-term endurance.” Others claim that the gear can “deliver increased power and stamina.” In theory, squeezing your flesh into tight-fitting garments can increase blood circulation, which helps deliver more oxygen to your muscles while speeding the removal of lactic acid and other by 10 coloradorunnermag.com

2016 Guide to Clubs, Coaches and Camps

unning is a difficult sport. It requires time and energy to achieve a certain level of fitness. Sometimes you can get caught on a plateau or fall behind in your training due to injury, lack of motivation or both. And sometimes, life can just get in the way. If you currently find yourself lacking direction in your running, maybe it is time for you to join a group, find a coach, or attend a camp. Clubs Clubs are usually non-profit organizations that produce events and meet for group workouts. Members receive discounted entry into club events as well as discounts at specialty stores. Some clubs produce a newsletter. Training Groups Training groups are similar to clubs, but without the event production. Most training groups also provide coaching for specific event distances. Some training groups meet a couple of times per week for group workouts. A few training groups even have large contingents that travel together to different events. Coaches Coaches can offer a wide range of services from group training to individualized workouts. Some offer complete individual schedules and online coaching. Some coaches offer their services through a training group while others offer advice over the phone or by email. Camps Camps can be a great way to jump start your training. There are camps for all different age groups, from teens to adults. These camps usually last anywhere from three days to a week and are held on location in various parts of the state.

Before each track and tempo workout, warm up by running easy for about 10 minutes before you begin and cool down by running or walking for at least 5 minutes at the end. On days when you are not running, you can rest, or participate in cross training exercises, such as swimming, biking, rowing, yoga and elliptical machines. Adding strength exercises, such as planks, squats, and push ups are helpful. Photography By DEE BUDDEN

Criteria used in determining Racing Series races:

1. Location - 2. Race organization - 3. Race distance - 4. Date of the race - 5. Quality of the field - 6. Size of the race

Racing Series Scoring

In each race, points will be awarded to the top 10 male and female finishers in all divisions. The open division is for runners 39 and under. The masters division is for runners 40-49. The grand masters division is for runners 50-59. The senior division is for runners aged 60 and over. Runners may participate in as many races as they choose, but must score in six races to be eligible for awards. For races with multiple starts, finish time will be used to calculate points. If a race has scoring trouble, it may be removed from the series. For races with multiple events, only the event listed will be scored. Your division is based on the first race of the year that you score in.
